WINZ Office Newtown

Project Description

This building was constructed on the site of an old theatre. Poor ground conditions and large in ground pits created a number of issues where poor soils required excavation and replacement of large volumes with good bearing material.

Precast concrete frame beams and columns were cast and erected into place using a mobile crane. The frames were tied together with insitu concrete stitch joints.

The floor was constructed using dycore with 75mm topping and a lift shaft was included for access.

A degree of underpinning to the northern neighbours site was also necessary.
